“Very few things make you forget about anything else that is going on in your life while you are doing it, and dancing is one of them. I love the feeling of a dance when everyone else disappears and it’s just you two on the floor. That’s when I am most happy.” – Jeff Linkwww.facebook.com/BembeCincinnatiwww.bembecincinnati.com
